Started watching The Power on Amazon Prime, quite an interesting idea, based on a best selling and award winning book. Decent cast and compelling story so far. Based in the USA, Lagos, UK and Moldova it follows various women who have gained a new organ that gives them a power. It'll be interesting to see how it develops. Worth a watch, so far.
Women already possess something that does that for them. 😉Quote:

Just got round to watching the last of us, really enjoyed it, never played the game and have nothing to reference it against but as a stand alone TV series it was superb, hopefully a second season is in the pipeline
That's good to read. I was wondering how it would sit with people who haven't played the game.Quote:

Funnily enough I have been looking at the trailers for the games and quite fancy it, will have to check if it is on game passQuote:

They introduced the town where Joel found Tommy in this season but the town didn't really feature until the 2nd game
Casting caused a bit of controversy, many thought Bella Ramsay was wrong for Ellie but I think they were proved wrong. The origin cast from the game appeared in the show but as different characters. The actor who played Joel actually played James in E8, Ashley Johnston who played Ellie in the game played Ellies mum in E9, Marlene, play by Merle Dandridge was played by the same actor in both game and TV show. Laura Bailey who played Abby in Last of Us 2 game was one of the nurses in E9 of the TV show.
I cannot wait for the second season despite knowing how the second game goes!!
I've been rewatching Billions from the start - it's so incredibly slick in its production, helped by an all-star cast and a pretty compelling storytelling prowess.
Binge watched the 3rd season of Picard. Loved it
I need to do the same and return to this…for reasons best known to myself I stopped watching midway through season 2Quote:

Anybody else watched The Curse on All4? It's actually so bad, it's funny for different reasons than initially imagined I'd suppose.
Some great Hibs references again in this series. Starting with the code for the safe. :wink:Quote:

Yup , I had a wee chuckle to myself when I spotted thatQuote:

Checked iPlayer and the whole box set is on there. I’d forgotten how funny it is. Considering it’s over 30 years old it’s aged really well.
The thing I always find funny about One Foot in the Grave is that Richard Wilson was 53 when it started. At the time he seemed perfect for a just retired grumpy old man. In reality he was almost as close to the age I am now as he was to 65.Quote:

That along with the the highly stylised US format, the ‘funny’ or ‘quirky’ aides all the way down to the state of the ambassadors hair most of the time just made it way too annoying to watch for me.
3 seasons of Narco's blitzed in 2 weeks , Loved it , Season 3 wasn't as good as 1 and 2
I see theirs a Narcos MEXICO , Might try that
I've been watching it. Not as good as the original series, but still addictive. I think there's also a Narcos Dublin or something!Quote:
